My 2006 Tacoma is on it's last leg, what is the best way to sell it?

2wd? If it were a quad cab 4x4 I'd buy it from you.

Since it's not, I'd probably just non-op it and then sell it. That way you don't have to worry about smog/dmv back fees.

 

He might have a better handle on who can install a motor reasonably and get another opinion on if it really needs another motor. Maybe a new radiator, too

 

This may be a dumb question. But how long has your truck been burning oil at the rate of 1 quart for 40 miles?

That's an Incredibly high consumption rate. Just wondering if something else is going on?

 

Engines are a lot cheaper than a car payment!

 

It’s been burning loads of oil for a year, really got bad the last three months

 

u betcha

 

The junker quoted me $800 for the truck. Bummed

 

I’m telling ya... find another motor. You can do this; if I did it you can do it

 

This ^ for sure O.P. otherwise you will be giving the truck away.

 

Post pictures of your truck and the mileage and all the specs. Me or someone else might buy it off you. I have no problems doing an engine swap

 

My guess is you are not cash-plenty right now. If that's the case; looking at everything else you've said, it's junk yard time. A lot have said get a Junk Yard engine, but even that costs money, even going the DIY route.
The answer is in what you can afford to do other than junk it?

 

2006 Tacoma base model 2.7l mt 5 speed 152,000 miles. Exterior looks like a work truck, interior is good no rips. Runs ok but burns a lot of oil. Clean title. Open to offers. Truck is located in Santa Maria, California 93454

 

Yeah I just called around here in Sacramento, nobody has an engine and they usually go for 2k.

 

2.7l at 152k miles burning oil?

 

PCV Valve??

 

There’s a nice oil smoke stain on the rear quarter panel.

 

I second this. Try replacing this first and see what happens.

 

Well, what do you want to get out of it? I might be interested if it’s at the right price.

 

replace or even just clean it usually they just get gunked up to see what happens
